Seems like they’re taking the piss out of the situation and the AFL more.

Given they also didn't make finals it's not like they're punching down.

With that said, f*** Geelong

Yeah it's our fault an umpire can't do their job. Stupid headline anyway. They are taking aim at the AFL.

Yeah that’s probably fair.

The logical part of my brain knows this funny. It's still too soon though.

At minimum I think the crows should ask the AFL for some lube before they **** us next time. As compensation.

 

[Jack McKraken]

Was listening the 3AW on the weekend, the commentary was basically, mistakes happen all the time, Crows are sooks and should get over it, they should've been better in that and other games and then they would be playing finals anyway. And that the Crows are kidding themselves that there will be any compensation

Listened to Leigh Matthews and Caro talk about it, they couldn’t believe he was stood down! Are you serious?!

They still seem to think it was a simple error, can’t punish for a mistake - missing the point that he made two f#*kn ups, and it’s the second error which was inexcusable.

Im totally fine for the goal umpire making a mistake and calling it a point, the issue isnt that for me, its just the complete indifference to even considering a review that got me so pissed off.

We would have been playing Carlton at the G on Friday Night in Week 1.

And that the Crows are kidding themselves that there will be any compensation

Was pretty much Gil’s argument on the Sunday morning after the game.

’It was a mistake, but you know, people make mistakes all the time. The Crows made plenty of mistakes in that last quarter, if they’d have kicked straighter they would have won’ (without a hint of irony from Gil given the mistake in question was a goal being adjudicated as a behind).

’There‘s nothing wrong with the system, if the umpire had called for a review it would have been correctly called a goal’ (so the system worked other than minor detail that the umpire unilaterally decided not to use it).

’Anyway, crowds are at record levels, footy’s awesome, and people make mistakes all the time. I mean who here hasn’t made a mistake? Dogs sure are loud when they bark. So to finish there’s nothing I can do about that mistake, they happen all the time. Did I mention the crowds?’.

It was about as patronising a response as you could get from the AFL, and I doubt Gil gives a single f&$* that the entire 2023 finals series has a question mark over it. Not sure we’ll see any compensation from the AFL, and certainly nothing commensurate with the magnitude of that ‘mistake‘.

Needed a Sydney player bumping the post and pointing to it hitting the post..

decides to pull on a Crows guernsey, he retired from AFL two days earlier. Just our luck

It this action something that opposition teams will intentionally employ in the future?

Don't know, Sydney certainly do.
A lot of posters on here think we should, me I'm not a fan, but I get why others see it as an action we should employ

Back in the day I remember getting into trouble at school for knocking on my desk and the teacher went to open the classroom door.

Maybe we should get goal posts like this and just bend them when the oppo kicks for goal..don't worry, the AFL are not going to ask for a game replay or any kind of fairness so we shoul dbe ok

If we had banged the post it would have been a massive fine and possible draft sanctions. The swans interfering with goal post on a 2nd occasion, nothing to see here.

Had to read that twice, first saw something about a teacher desk and knocking

 

[Gtowncrow]

bahahaha all will be forgotten from the AFL.

Not if we keep it front and centre.
What sort of reception can the umpires expect next year at AO? It will be an avalanche of hate.

I'm not sure the AFL will like that look.

They need to intercede and make this right. Doing nothing is asking for a prolonged PR disaster for the AFL. I'm sure the AFL would prefer this finished with.

 

[Gtowncrow]

Rosebury (the controlling and most senior umpire in that game) stated he thought it was a point and so didn't think a review was necessary either

Well he would say that now wouldn't he!!

Pretty sure that's a shot at the AFL and not at the Crows, no matter what a clueless newspaper says.

I will never ever forget it and I certainly will never forgive it and I suspect most crows fans won't either based on the commentary it has received. It goes in the bucket with the other times they have royally screwed us - this is just another not thought about way they got us this time

Look at this season alone for bigtime penalties that all went against us
1. The McAdam Bump - 3 week ban when other bumps that hit head high the same week that injured players etc got less
2. The Dawson head high hit 10s from full time at the G V collingwood if paid wins us the game - 4 umpires missed it but most of those watching at the ground didn't
3. The goal that was not given that cost us finals
4. The Sydney player that bumped McAdam in the head and fractured his cheekbone gets off at the same tribunal that wacked McAdam for 3 weeks for a non head high bump that did no lasting damage

Thats just THIS season alone.

The AFL perspective will be all we bee forgotten come start of next year. At best we'll get a friday night match at ADL oval.
